Tracks Page - DeLorme Earthmate PN-60 GPS User Manual

Tracks Page

A track is a recording of points along the path you travel—use it to keep a log of your travels. From the Tracks Page,
you can turn track recording on and off, set the method for recording track points, manage track files, and view a track
on the Profile Page. You can open a saved track file while a new track is recording—both the active and open track can
display on the Map Page at the same time.
The Opened Track File area displays information about a saved track file that you have opened to view.
Viewing a Track on the Map
On the Map Page, you can view the active track and one open track file at the same time. An open track file is the
color set in the track's details (see Managing Track Files on page 44). The appearance of the active track is based
on your GPS status.
• 3-D fix–Green line
• 2-D fix–Yellow line

established.

What it does
